NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***
- Thread starter simply1
- Start date
As an ISU and Minn sports fan, my memories of the 91 WS are pretty fuzzy. Need the Wolves to get this done. Plus I am a fan from the day the franchise formed. I even had the OG starter coat.
You've been there all the way from Christian Laettner to KG to the current Garza era.
If it isn't going to be TH then I would vote for the Wolves. Even if it means Luka Garza gets a ring as a valued cheerleader.
Garza is absolutely going to prevent me from pulling for the Wolves. Sucks too as I've always been pretty pro MN pro sports teams my whole life, and really enjoy Ant and Julius Randie as players. I just could not stomach a former hawk getting a ring, you know local media will go nuts about it and all the hawk fans.
I could see this if he played like, at all. The fact is he's a bench rider and has no effect whatsoever. If the IA media pushes that you just know how desperate and sad they will look. Who gives AF.
Tyrese’s 31 points in game five was the only 30 point game by any Pacer in the Cleveland series. They have such depth and a great bench and their style of play keeps everyone engaged
The Nuggets need more consistent three point shooters. Joker usual makes the correct pass but Porter and Westbrook just can’t make open threes.
Jokic was bad games 3-5, so he doesn’t get a pass in the series.
But his teammates were 1-15 and 0-10 from 3 in the 4th on Tuesday night.
As much as I feel for you Minnesota sports fans, I think I’m rooting for OKC and Indy after this round (assuming the Nuggets are eliminated). If it’s Minnesota vs Knicks in the finals though, I got your back
WHO and Murphy were the worst, but I do think all the griping about covering Garza and not Haliburton has been received. The transition over the past 2-3 months is pretty stark. I haven't seen anything about Garza thankfully. It was ridiculous.
The TV execs will be sick over a Indy/OKC matchup! It would be a very entertaining series though! Heck...even a MSP/Indy series would draw yawns from both coasts and we all know that is not what the TV execs want...
I live in their dream market but I really don’t like their LA teams. The teams I’ve been pulling for in order are Indy, Denver, Minn, OKC so I guess I’m radically different than Joe TV viewer. And yes…for once the teams that are most likable to me are winning like few other years.
Surely they wouldn't give it way more attention than when Talen Horton Tucker won a ring with the Lakers?
At 6'11 280, Jokic leads all players in the playoffs in points, rebounds, assists and steals. It's like someone created him on a video game.
People don’t realize he was 2nd or 3rd in steals entire regular season. He has the best hands ever in the game.
If Garza gets a ring the central Iowa media will push that narrative all the way to the wnba playoffs when the attention will then turn to CC.
I grew up watching so many wolves games. I loved KG. He will always be a favorite
He needs Niang
The Cavs traded Niang for playoffs defense…but the Pacers made 14 more 3s in the series so maybe they shouldn’t have shifted identity.
